“Went in for something refreshing and decided to go for a smoothie. You can order one ingredient or, for a little extra cost, make it a mix of three or more ingredients. Had the Strawberry, Mango, and Berries mix...the taste was awesome. Definitely recommend.Whenever in the area, try this place out. They have a great variety of fresh and healthy food.-Calibajaliving-Calibajafoodie“
“The food items were delicious, great selection of interesting dishes. The wine list was impressive (we’ve been to major wine areas all over the planet). However, what we were most impressed with was our server Olivia. She knew the menu items very well - could answer any and all questions that we had. She expressed herself very positively. Rather than ask “are you still working on that?”; she asked “are you still enjoying your meal?” Rather than reply to a thank you with “no problem” or “no worries”; Olivia replied with “my pleasure.” When we go back; we’ll make a point of asking for Olivia!!!“
“The Lavasanipour’s weren’t looking for a new favorite pizza place but….. If you happen to be, know that Mike’s will definitely impress. As soon as you walk in, welcomed with a warm greeting as if you were family arriving. Can’t say enough good things about this place! Big, HUGE shoutout to Massachusetts Mike’s team. What a fantastic touch to San Diego’s cuisine.“
“Just had an outstanding time in San Diego at a, confidential name unwrapping, barbecue spot. You haven't truly savored BBQ until Josh served you! His smile made my perfect BBQ plate even better. Seems they know a thing or two not just about top-notch service, but also feast a knockout Big O'Melt sandwich, tantalizing chicken fingers in buffalo sauce, and by the look of their busy dog-friendly patio, even pets have a favourite. They took casual dining a step higher I giving us outstandingly delectable Tim's old-fashioned treats. Perfect for viewing sports on screen. BBQ heaven, here we come! Astonishing setting with music, a mini arcade for extra fun, friendly staff even my kids felt at home the in playground. A vibrant vibe in every bit. Notably, Alejandro, attended to us beyond measure. Now I have well matches face, name and great service! Unbelievable mac n cheese, brisket, and bread pudding offered consistently whipped us into indulgent fancies. The next outing has already been hinted at by my family. The family-style platter was a whirlwind satisfaction for all 12 us. Feisty meal-portions for the win! Now forever we will be their fans!“
“I've been meaning to write this since Feb (2 mo ago). I was hungry when I Googled "Pizza near me" and Hillcrust Pizza popped up. Santiago took my order. He recommended a pizza and said it was "really good." LIAR!! It was FANTASTIC?!! Santiago so undersold his recommendation. I've been back 3 times (and bragging to all my friends about the spectacular food), trying something new each time. The Meatball Hilly... so beautiful ! Very difficult to pick one as a favorite pizza because they've ALL been amazing!! Most recent orders for our pizza crowd were Golden Hill, Classic Cheese, Downtown, and The Boulevard (White pizza). A wide variety of choices where everyone felt they were a winner! And for those who routinely leave the pizza crust... to leave a Hillcrust Pizza crust uneaten would be a sin.Sorry no pictures. We DEVOURED the food before we realized we had forgotten to take pictures. The posted pictures ? from the menu do NOT truly capture the experience.Thank you, Santiago! Thank you, Hillcrust Pizza! And thank you Google for aligning the universe to connect me to Hillcrust Pizza! ?“
“Talk about great service and food!! Litzy and Emily were amazing. They gave us great recommendations about which foods are delicious and it didn't not disappoint. The loaded fries were bomb dot com!!!!! Thank you Litzy and Emily I'll be coming back in future for sure!“
“My husband and I had dinner here last night. And WOW! It’s a small place but those are always the best! Authentic Italian food and so yummy! And of course, service was great! Very nice people and AMAZING food! So good. I’m so pleased. We’ll be back for sure.“
“Terry and his wife are amazing. This place is delish. We had the prosciutto and arugula pizza and the burrata appetizer. Both were delicious. At the end of the mealnthey give you these warmed chocolate chip cookies with sea salt! Good prices and a good drink list.“
“I was having some work done at nearby Car Audio One, and I walked over to Empanada Spot to kill some time. The shopping center is small and quiet, and I wasn't sure what to expect - but I was very pleasantly surprised!The restaurant was very nice and well maintained or newly renovated. The Empanadas were delicious, as were the salsas (particularly the red Salsas). The Empanadas were a good size, but after initially ordering two I went back to order a third (and then talked myself into a fourth, LOL!).Overall would highly recommend Empanada Spot as a nice 'change of pace' from the normal fast casual dining spots; great food and friendly service made it a great experience.“
“Let’s be honest. There’s a LOT of places in San Diego to get Italian food. But Alexander’s is the best.I don’t make the rules. But I’ll explain why.Alexander’s consistently has very tasty dishes (and, admittedly, we’ve eaten here way too many times and have tried a lot of them).The service is always great. Whoever is the hiring manager here, clearly has a magic touch. Every member of staff here is personable, approachable, efficient, and great at what they do.And the vibe here, is really just perfect. We enjoy the back patio most. It’s elegant but not so over the top—and honestly, in a city where every place is trying to be a flashy, in your face “aesthetic,” Alexanders just delivers a beautiful tasteful atmosphere that can honestly handle anything.Need a place to take a date? It’s a great spot for that. Taking a client to dinner? Also great for that. Maybe you’re just wanting to enjoy a nice meal with friends and you want to eat someplace nice but not feel obligated to bust out the formal shoes. Alexanders. Perfect.We’ve been here so many times, the food and service is always consistently great. The selection of movies they have playing in black and white is also a favorite added touch. We absolutely adore this place.And everyone we’ve ever brought here has too.“
“Amazing food and amazing staff! My husband and I went for breakfast and ordered the meatloaf Benedict and the chicken and waffles tower. They were huge portions but so so delicious! The staff was super friendly and were very happy to be at work. Highly recommend!“
“So pleasantly surprised by this place! We got the both XLB flavors, a couple of the dumplings, orange chicken and chicken chow mein. The noodles in the chow mein were slightly overcooked but that didn't take away from the flavor. All the dumplings were delicious and the orange chicken was some of the best I've had. Crispy and sweet but not overly sweet. We have picky kids and all of them devoured the food. Prices were fair and we are looking forward to returning! Service was great, waitstaff were nice and food came out quick!“
“Great service, not the best looking location, but some pretty darn good food! I’m petty picky about my pad Thai and they made it just right. Location isn’t the best looking but that’s not what we fatties are here for right!!!? Highly recommend :)“
“This is one of the coziest spots in SD. They even asked if they could put our jackets on the coat rack. It’s small and feels warm and friendly and inviting. Food was superb too and I highly recommend the wine pairing! Came here for an anniversary dinner and our favorite course was the salad and soup.“
“Best Gyro's. Stuffed with lots of meat, diced veggies. A little of everything with every bite. Very, very fresh.Always feel welcomed with every visit. If there are any slight issues with anything, they go the extra mile to make it just right. This place is Awesome and of course, so is the food.Also LOVE, LOVE the beet salads!“
“Mi novio y yo visitamos el lugar y tiene una excelente atención al cliente, nos dieron a probar sopas y fueron muy amables. La comida es deliciosa, fresca, sana con muy buenas porciones y una comida completa y balanceada. Muchas felicidades por su concepto!. Que sigan cumpliendo mas años“
“The food is amazing and without a doubt could easily contend with the top Italian restaurant businesses within all of San Diego. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel at home. They hustle and by the time I finish my salad my main course is already on its way. The Owner, named Pietro is a very kind and generous man and regularly comes out of the kitchen to visit with the guests. Luciano, the owner’s son also is very outgoing and super friendly. He is also very handsome, nice, and has a shine to his smile ??. All and all. The overall restaurant has a great environment and is enjoyable for a date night, after a long day at work, or even coming straight from the beach.“
“My husband found this place based on the reviews and he was right, really good spot! Don’t be fooled when parking. The restaurant is colorful, the staff super friendly, and the food was delicious. I also noticed how busy the waiting room got, so I’m glad we got here early “
“Came and ate here and had a few slushies. I had the Mexican Firing Squad, my husband had the Ube Colada. Both were delightful! To eat I had the Shrimp Fried Rice and my husband had the Fancy Grilled Cheese and added chicken. The food was delicious! Especially the SFR! It was a very large portion. A friend of ours had the wedge salad and it was huge and looked ? delicious. I will be ordering one next time. They had great music going on amd the staff were all super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back!“
“Be prepared- if you order the cheese board, it's a full meal! Absolutely delicious with fresh bread and fruit. I halved the burger with a friend, and it was outstanding as well. The cocktails are amazing and beautiful to look at. The service was fantastic. Highly, highly recommend! Would done again“
“Sorry, there are no pictures to share even after 2 visits. I was so impressed with the flavor, portions & selection here. Their plates consist of your choice of protein & sides. Honestly, if you buy 2 kabobs, you can easily split the sides such as hummus w pita, saffron rice, Greek salad, etc. And their sauces are self-served. Fiery red & cilantro jalapeño. It's very tasty & worth the trip! The steak is thick but tender, saffron chicken is flavorful!“
“We have ordered Kebabs before here, we recently ordered a meal kit that was all rice and hardly any meat, I mean it was a joke, its a $30 meal. I messaged them because we have ordered several times before and thought maybe they would try to make it right but they never replied. This was 2 weeks ago. We will never buy food here again! The servings are very small and there are tons of other places to eat or order take out around here if they want to be jerks about it! The food is average really, we order out frequently so as not to have to cook and live in the area. We got about $1 worth of rice and lettuce for a $30 meal plate, what a joke!“
“Frutti Mas is such a hidden jem! Whenever I come to town my family and I go and pick up my favorites. They are so welcoming and friendly and go above and beyond in giving the best service. Not to mention the food is delicious, we haven't had one thing we don't like! Their pozole is delicious, the tortas and wraps are so good. The smoothies are also so good. They over such a wide variety! Definitely check this place out!“
“Best vegan Thai food in El Cajon! I definitely recommend coming to dine in I love the decor and felt a light energy. Service was prompt and courteous and the option of the all vegan menu and delicious Thai tea has now ensured I will keep coming back. Thank you thank you thank you ??Vegetarian options: New optional all vegan options !Dietary restrictions: Vegan availableParking: Parking is in the back and there are plenty of spaces.“
“First made the drive down to Blue Poke for a Yelp event, but came back a few times when I found myself in the area. There are a few other blue pokes that have since opened closer to central San Diego with one in North Park, but I think the quality varies from location to location- this location in National City being the best! First of all, the design of the store is so fun and I could tell it was clean and well maintained. I had a delicious poke bowl with my favorite spicy ahi (minced style). They have a good number of toppings to choose from along with great sauces. This is what I like to call "chipotle style" poke where you build your bowl, but everything was good! Easy parking to grab your bowl for take-out!“
“Their BBQ chicken and rice bowl is delicious! Bee is amazing and keeps everything moving smoothly. Actually, the entire crew is great. The decor is stylish and welcoming. The prices are good and the service is also! Thai Joint gets 11 out of 10 stars from me.“
“Delicious food made with love and care! I love this family owned Thai place. The restaurant is a little cozy so it may be better for take out. The portions were good and the taste was phenomenal! I'll definitely be back. Thank you for your service!“
“This place has such yummy acai bowls!! The service was fast and the worker was so nice. I was really happy about the portion size here. A good amount of acai, plus ample amounts of strawberry, banana, some blueberries and blackberries, plus some granola, shredded coconut, and a bit of honey. There was no one in the store when I went, which is such a shame - this place is a hidden gem, I guess (despite being literally right next to El Cajon blvd). There is seating inside in case you'd like to dine-in. I will be sure to return!“
“Freshly prepared food! The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and the chef is so friendly with the guests and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.“
“The ssssalivation is REAL! Coop knows how to do it right! His Q is legit. Tasty, tender, juicy ribs n brisket that don’t need any sauce. Every bite that slides off the bone has loads of smokiness. They go down like buttahh... But, le’me tell you, that spicy sauce is so dope. It’s bursting with so much flavor and adds some heat to the bites. It’s just a cherry on top of the sundae. So ask for the spicy sauce. It’s so good.Their sides are all great. Starting with that cornbread. The pieces are huge and perfect. They have the right amount of moisture that they don’t get all crumbly n crummy. So yummy! I could stop there, but I love their bbq beans that have chunks of pineapple. Didn’t expect that my first time there when they first opened. But I’ve been a sucker for it ever since. If you don’t want something sweet, the red beans n rice are also great. They even have chunks of the brisket in it. I must say, I never really had collard greens till I discovered Coops. I’ve had it since at other places, but I really like the way they make the greens here. I always gotta have it on my plate to complete my scrumptious meal. I usually order for pick up and bring my stash home for the fam. There is limited seating inside and outside if you can’t wait to get home. The tortuous drive is the hardest part for me!Thanks for keeping the legend goin, Coop!(The only drawback: the hours! Please stay open past 3pm. People don’t grab dinner before then. The business will at least triple if it stayed open to at least 6-7pm! And summer is coming!I’ll do (5) stars for service then. ; D )“
“Great ambiance, delicious food. I ordered the chef's pesto salad and added the chicken for extra protein. The portion was fairly large, dressing was on the healthier side and yummy. For sure I’ll go back to try the rest of the menu.“
“I pass by Big Front Door often heading to work. Decided to stop in and give it a try this afternoon. I got their Cobbler salad and my friend got the chicken parmesan sandwich. The portion sizes are very generous, I asked for extra dressing with my salad and didn't really need it as there was a decent amount left. The food tasted great and was served up without much of a wait time. The star of the show was the gentleman that helped us though! I wish I had taken the time to get his name to give him proper credit. He greeted us, made small talk while my friend and I decided what to have and as we were leaving he offered to clear our table for us. Very polite and friendly! I will definitely be adding this to my list of regular places to go.“
“We are becoming regulars at this place! We’re from Chicago so it’s so nice to have lefties here in San Diego. We usually get the Chicago stuffed pizza. Their Italian beefs are great. I also like the onion rings and fried mushrooms. Love the Chicago memorabilia all over the restaurant, has a really nice atmosphere and outdoor seating area, and the employees are always friendly and helpful Lauren comes by and says hi. She owns the place she’s there every day doing quality control you can’t go wrong with Lefty’s.“
“I went out on a limb and put in my delivery instructions a special request for some spare trash bags because I didn’t have any at the house. Not only was the pizza delicious and the delivery timely, but they actually fulfilled my silly request, which I wasn’t expecting but always appreciate! As if that wasn’t a pleasant enough surprise, the wonderful staff at this location enclosed an assortment of candy for me as a gesture of good will. What a way to keep a customer coming! From here on out, every trip I take to San Diego, I will be stopping by. Tip the staff, and tip generously! They deserve it!“
“We live nearby, less than 2 miles away and this was our first time visiting. It was taco Tuesday and I saw they had $1.85 street tacos (price as of 2/6/24). Options were chicken, carne asada, and adobada. I had one of each and they were amazing !We ate there and enjoyed really tasty chips and salsa while the tacos were being made. The pictures of all the music artists on the wall were so fun to look at and the music was also really nostalgic. Also, the staff was so helpful and friendly. Some places make you feel rushed and this really felt inviting.I had 3 tacos and my fiance had 4. It was the perfect amount for each of us for dinner. But at $1.85 each, get as many as you want!We had the chipotle crema salsa and the habanero salsa. Both were excellent. Habanero salsa wasn’t overly spicy, despite it looking like their hottest salsa.I’m excited to come here for other items too. Their breakfast burritos , quesadillas , and tortas also all look amazing. We’re so lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood. I highly suggest coming by and getting a meal if you’re in the area.“
“The former tacos libertad and caché speakeasy is back! Now called the boardroom soiree. It still has all the same beautiful French style giant chandeliers, toulouse-lautrec drawings on the walls, dripping candles. The entrance is still the freezer door in the back, it can also be accessed through the back of barrel & board. They have great bartenders that make fantastic drinks with beautiful flourishings, they also offer a good list of mocktails...I really liked "like a virgin". The only thing I didn't like was the DJ in the corner, it's such a uniquely beautiful place and it just seems wrong to have club music... I'm looking forward to checking out the live music on Wednesdays :)“
“Got the Mediterranean Bowl with tofu via delivery app. They know how to make a vegetarian dish that's for sure. Sour and salty dish well balanced with sweet potatoes and different textures. Not just healthy but tasty. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: Meatless bowls and tofu as the protein option.“
“Tons of authentic Mexican goodies; it makes you feel like you walking into a store in Guadalajara. For example they had raspados, Tostilocos, agua fresca, ect everything taste great. To continue there prices beat what your would pay in store and the customer service is very nice and welcoming.“
“Late dinner, not real busy was nice, not loud, food was really good we really enjoyed it. Nice people, friendly.. food was warm and tasty. The hibiscus water was delicious and homemade, not too sweet. I'm definitely coming back.Parking: The lot is shared with 7-11. Wasn't busy when we went, but it may be busy depending on times and days.“
“Keep this place in business! Great by the slice pizza place. Service is great, I spoke with the owner who I've seen behind the counter working hard each time i've visited. If you live in northpark, this is a great place to walk to for lunch. Right on 30th. Unfortunately it seems people may not notice it enough as it deserves. Great new york style slices and a very nice owner. Support this small business over chains owned by the rich who don't actually care about their food.“
“The burgers we had were good burgers. The game meat kind of had a fishy taste to it. It is a nice place to try out different meats you never had from Elk, Buffalo, Alligator, Venison and much more. The service was good. You order at the front and then they bring you your food and drinks.“
“I always forget how good this place is for some reason. They knock it out of the park with really tasty, really creative sandwiches and salads. It’s sooo overpriced but it’s a solid treat every once in a while. Note that it is a bit slower than other places in the area, so make sure have about 10 mins to wait for your food after you order. If you have the time, it’s worth it. Also - get the pomegranate mint lemonade. If you’re already paying for the lunch, you won’t regret spending a bit more on that killer lemonade. Highly recommend all around.Dietary restrictions: Excellent gluten-free sandwich bread- not crumbly or dry.“
“I've been a customer since I was a teenager and lived down the street. Now I make the trip from the east county when I am craving a LOMO torta. Nothing like this combination and flavors. I like my lomo shredded, not the big slab of meat. Highly recommend it !!! My ultimate all time favorite!“
“Their Wings & Fries were freshly made unlike other places that taste reheated . We always get greeted by cashiers and servers , this time getting free soda for our kids ! Definitely a chill spot to drink a cold one while watching any sports game or just simply have a nice family lunch / dinner .“
“The employees at this location provide consistently amazing service and food. They never disappoint!Parking: There's plenty of parking, we always find a spot close by.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor and indoor seating for families.Wheelchair accessibility: Large doors and wheelchair accessible tables.“
“Brooklyn Pizzeria is located on the corner of 4th and C Street in downtown San Diego. They have a good selection of pizza by the slice at lunchtime and a cool brick oven to cook their pies in. Service was friendly and they seem to do a good bit of business at this location. They have a few tables inside for dining as well as some window bar type seating by each window. The pizza as definitely solid and had a good flavor. The only thing I didn’t like so much was all the homeless people hanging around. It definitely takes away from the vibe of a good meal. All in all, thumbs up for food and service and thumbs down for atmosphere. Probably a better place to get take out from.“
“I was a first time customer here in November 2019. I never knew I never came back, but the food was awesome! I ordered a California Burrito, and for a price of under $13 (with a drink) it was the best deal. Sadly I never finished it since it was so big, but I did enjoy it a lot!! The best!!!“
“So far everything I've tried has been delicious!! My favorites are the Drunken noodles and the cream cheese wonton. The flavors are perfect. And the wontons are so good Especially the way she rolls them you get the perfect bite of crispy wonton and cream cheese mix inside with every bite *Chefs kiss* wishing them the best of luck!!“
“Tried this new little cozy place in my neighborhood that just opened, and it did not dissapoint. Food was amazing all freshly cooked. I ordered to go and my family loved it. The Drunken noodles with beef and shrimp was my favorite dish. The yellow curry was very tasty. Thai fried rice was on point and the crispy veggie eggrolls were good. Last but not least ..The mango sticky rice was excellent. Definetely will be coming back soon to try the Pad Thai noodles and the soups.??this could a new hidden ?. Enjoy!“
“One of my favorite locations to visit for smoothies. They offer a ton of healthy and affordable food. The chilaquiles are very popular and delicious. I ordered the chocolate banana smoothie and it's amazing. Their smoothies are all so fresh and you can add additional protein or collagen to it. They have gender restrooms available and a ton of dinning tables to dine in. Overall a positive experience highly recommend a visit.“
